The timing on the fly motion was so good

Even on tv it was tough to be sure whether or not the motion player was going to get the sweep until after the ball was snapped. I know the NIU team had a lot of seniors who have played together forever but the contrast in coordination vs. out offense was intense.

I'm surprised ND didn't start trying to dictate the issue by having an overhang player attack the motion guy. I'm sure the offense has a million answers to that, but for all our vaunted skill in man coverage you feel like it would have been worth it to up the aggression just in the name of giving everyone more certainty in what they were doing
